How to look like a mallow: evidence of floral mimicry between Turneraceae and Malvaceae.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Sept 2007

Benitez-Vieyra Santiago, Hempel de Ibarra Natalie, Wertlen Anna M, Cocucci Andrea A

Abstract excerpt

Abundant, many-flowered plants represent reliable and rich food sources for animal pollinators, and may even sustain guilds of specialized pollinators. Contrastingly, rare plants need alternative strategies to ensure pollinators' visitation and faithfulness. Flower mimicry, i.e. the sharing of a...
